here’s a song for the heroes
who were braver than I could ever be
love for their families
who are grieving but not alone
new york city is crying
new york city is down on her knees
new york city is praying
together with you

here’s a song for the missing
every loved one who still can’t be found
love for their families
who in sorrow are not alone
new york city is standing by you
new york city is down on her knees
new york city is praying
together with you

may our voices rise to “split the sky…
and let the face of God shine through”
can we push the clouds of fear apart
and rest our sadness on Thy heart

new york city is trying
new york city is down on her knees
new york city is praying
together with you
